Well, first off, the quality is a cut below the usual. I don't know if it was scanned that way or what. Second, with Touma's memories gone, as he is now, he's lost some of his charm. He's lost that mentality I really liked about him, and acts like a coward. I don't like it at all. I did like the ToumaXMikoto moment, but it lost it's impact because he didn't know what was going on. Hopefully the story will make up for that and/or Touma gets back to his usual self quick.

Also, to anyone who would know does Touma also lose his memories as of the latest chaps of TAKnR?

The memory thing is kinda "meh....." for me, not sure if I think its good or just totally pointless. Like frubam said hes lost some charm with his memories gone. Hope something happens to make up for that but guess I'll need to stick with it to find out

Yeah, down from png to jpg, too. The credits seem to indicate a new cleaner...

Well, I wouldn't call him a coward... the powers Mikoto was throwing around would be intimidating to anyone, even other espers. Before, he knew he could just rely on his power to protect him, so he could afford to act nonchalant.

If she was his girlfriend, I would image he could remember some parts of it like how he remembers Index is someone important to him.

He can't be sure though. And even if she's not a girlfriend, not remembering who you're supposed to know is kinda... He has no idea how close they might have been. Does he even remember his parents?

And is there really a point at all in keeping it secret? "Sorry, I fell down the stairs, hit my head, and got amnesia; who were you again?" Considering his luck it's not too unbelievable.

Edit: Also, the exact line he uses for Index is "For some reason I feel like she's known me for a while---" (or at least that's the translation used), which to me doesn't imply that he subconsciously remembers her being important or anything. It just means that she's acting like someone who's known him for a while (which confuses him because he has no clue why or how he met someone like her).

Well going by the latest date July 20 its still around the Index arc.

Which means for a couple of days if he meets Mikoto he'll still remember her.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun is a side story afterall.

Though it would be ironic if their first meeting will repeat itself.

In the latest chap he did actually save her from danger.

With Touma not taking credit. Which both frustrates her and creates brownie points for her heart.

Hmmmm ..... I can't call the way that touma acted was cowardly..... I would call it normal reaction come give that guy some slack he just got brain/memories erased ..... he more rely on instinct or reflex to handle his encounter on chapter 11 Mikoto I hope the scanlator quick translate those
other chapters

That's the aspect of his personality that's gone. He might get it back once he gets going full swing, but right now, how he reacted to certain things reminds me of a male harem lead running away from something. Now I do understand why he's like that, but this is my first perception of it, so I see it like i see it.

The last time he appeared, he still had his memories. I assume the "timeline" for Railgun would be before Stiyls attacked the mansion, since in one panel in a page of one chapter of the Railgun manga, you can see part of Stiyls.
In the most recent chapters, he hasn't had any appearance, since it was focused on Mikoto and her fight against... *spoiler block*

Hmm? What scene on what page was that? I don't recall that line...?

After he lost his memories, Tōma said "I don't know why, I just don't want to see that girl cry." Then he said he couldn't understand what kind of feelings were those, but one way or the other, he had them. That doesn't say anything about Index being important for him, but it does point out he simply cannot be indifferent to her.

Then he said he couldn't understand what kind of feelings were those, but one way or the other, he had them. That doesn't say anything about Index being important for him, but it does point out he simply cannot be indifferent to her.

Oh, so people were referring to something else? Either way, I don't see any evidence for any sort of remaining memories or feelings; that's just the kind of guy he is.

Also one of the reasons he hasn't told anyone that he has no memories is that he thinks it would make people look at him differently, like he wasn't their "Touma". As he himself doesn't think that he's Touma.

Our dear hero still doesn't have his memory. Now living with Index and a new cat.

He finds out he is an unlucky guy by the mishaps. He tries to get a drink from the vending machine but it broken. The same vending machine Mikoto get drinks from in the Raingun manga. Losing 2000 for repeatedly buying a drink. Then our dear Mikoto comes overtly familliar but he doesn't know who she is.

But he doesn't who she is which pisses her off reintrocing herself.

As usual Mikoto tries to shock him but he instinctively moved his right hand to block thus cancelling it. Touma discovering his ability.

Mikoto kicks the Vending machine getting her drink but seeing that he spent 2000 Yen for one she she shocks the machine to spit it out. Which freaks out Touma making him run.

Mikoto catches up to him in park.

Mikoto tells him not to be pathetic that for someone who is not Level 5 he defeated her. Which gave him the impression he was a delinquent for making a girl cry.

Then Koruko comes and suspects he is the reason why Mikoto takes to long to get home.

Mikoto denies he is her boyfriend. Kuroko still suspicious warns Touma not to get close with Mikoto without her leave.

Threatening him. (Crazy Yuri)

After Kuroko leaves Touma and Mikoto meet a girl who looks like Mikoto except for the googles on her.

Touma still doesn't feel quite like the orig Touma yet. I guess he really has to understand his powers before he gets back to his old self T_T.

The Mikoto look-a-like reminded me of Aigis from Persona 3(who, btw, was my fav char), so I liked her personality(or lack thereof). I guess these Mikoto clones or whatever are getting knocked off by this Accelerator guy, and Mikoto doesn't look too pleased. If she does know anything about it, I don't see why she herself doesn't settle things with Accelerator personally. Well, I guess the answers will come soon enough.
